Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain

Full Day in Rio: Christ, Sugarloaf, Selarón & Barbecue Lunch

It is no wonder that Pão de Açúcar is one of the most sought after tourist spots in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Very well located, in the neighborhood of Urca, the set of hills Pão de Açúcar and Morro da Urca is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes with a vast tropical flora and fauna. The thrill of the trip to the Sugarloaf Mountain begins well before reaching the top of the hill, 396 meters above sea level. The adventure begins with the cable car ride, a glazed cable car that presents details and unique angles of the perfect carioca geography. The first stop is at Morro da Urca, 220 meters above sea level. From there, you can see the Guanabara Bay and the Botafogo Bay. In the second and last stop, the panoramic view presents, in addition to the bay, a large part of the edge of the South Zone and Niterói. In addition to the visit to Pão de Açúcar, we will also take you on a panoramic tour of some of the most charming beaches in Rio de Janeiro.

Peter was definitely a good time! He kept us on schedule, accommodated me since I was traveling the same day, and still made sure we had a great experience despite the weather not being the best. If it was this good on a bad weather day, I can only imagine how amazing it would be on a perfect one. Thank you again, Peter! 🇧🇷✨

Rio de Janeiro Private City Tour: Christ, Sugarloaf & More

Bergen_B, Jun 2026

Thank you Augusto!!

Augusto was such a great tour guide for our first Rio trip. He was knowledgeable, caring and very engaging. His English is fantastic and he was kind enough to switch between English and PT since we had varying levels of fluency. We also really appreciated both the customizability and his input since we were experiencing a rainy Rio day. Overall, a fantastic experience

A perfect way to spend a relaxing evening on the water. Even with somewhat cloudy weather, the experience was absolutely worth it. The views, atmosphere, and overall vibe made for a memorable outing. And as a bonus, this place serves what surely is the best caipirinha in all of Rio!

Rio city tour

Excellent tour with an excellent guide. The tour ticked all the boxes that one would expect while visiting Rio. It was for me probably the only chance I will ever get to visit this magnificent city so the locations visited was of paramount importance.

Peter the Great

Peter is a very skilled tour guide and it became clear at every destination that everyone knew him and treated our group with preference. He provided insights and kept the tour moving although it was a very long day. The lunch at a Brazilian steakhouse was great. Would highly recommend.

Great tour with good English spoken by tour guide.

Great overview of the main sights around Rio. The majority of people on the tour spoke Spanish or Portuguese, my wife and I were the only English speakers, but the tour guide did an excellent job explaining everything in English in addition to the other languages. Thank you so much for doing that! I would highly recommend this tour.

Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf: Rio City Tour with Lunch

Belinda_L, Jan 2026

Highly recommend this tour

This is my first visit to Rio de Janeiro. This is the best way to visit the 2 important tourist spots in Rio - Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer, as well as the others. Communications is good, we are contacted by the tour operator on the evening before. Pick up is efficient and didn’t spend a lot of time to go to different places. Our tour guide Joao spoke good English and took good care of us. He also gave us tips to other interesting places that was not covered by this tour. Lunch was buffet type and good.

William_C, Dec 2025

Outstanding Tour of Rio

Luís Darin was a terrific guide. After 3 days of private tours we found it difficult to see sites we had not already seen. Luís came up with some good ones for us an managed to make the whole day exciting. Our favorite “off the beat” activity was our trip to the Botanical Gardens (Note: admission to the gardens is not included in tour price) but was well worth the cost. Simply beautiful. Aside from that, Luís was a regular Tarzan. He could identify every plant & tree, every animal making a noise, and even make animal calls to attract the animals for photos. He also took us to various markets and to the St Teresa district for a traditional Brazilian lunch. Great guide. Highly recommend him

Rio de Janeiro: 35 Min Helicopter Tour Christ the Redeemer

Shenna_W, Nov 2025

Hands down the best helicopter company.

Hands down one of the best companies we have dealt with during our travels. We were late due to traffic and they made accommodations so that we could still fly. We felt welcomed and invited. The entire team from ground crew to the managers and the pilot all went above and beyond. We had an epic flight around all the promised landmarks. It was a great way to begin our trip and get a lay of the land tour. The reception crew welcomed us with coffee and a brief explanation of what to expect. Then we proceeded to the flight line where the ground crew and pilot took care of our safety and communication. After liftoff it was a blissful view of the chaos of Rio and the surrounding area. The tour was informative and fun. Throughout the rest of our trip we could repeatedly say “Oh we saw that from the helicopter.”. We are pretty sure that the rest of our tour group was jealous of our time in the sky. The company is top notch. The employees there make you feel safe and pampered and allow you to relax and enjoy the flight.

Catherine_F, Oct 2025

Wonderful trip with all the must-sees!

It was really a hard hitting who’s who of Rio- we saw I think all the major attractions in an absolute whirlwind! The timing was very good for the most part. Maybe a few more minutes could have been spent here or there, but you’ll see everything, rain or shine!
